LIC Comprehensive Plan
Last year, thanks to key support from stakeholders, government, and private foundations, we
completed Phase I of LIC’s first-ever Comprehensive Plan. Phase I collected and synthesized
large amounts of data from various sources, including a survey of our 6,600+ businesses
and organizations. This process provided us with real data and invaluable insights from our
residents and businesses. The resulting Key Findings laid the ground work for nine general policy
Recommendations that will now guide our Phase II work.
An overarching goal is to connect LIC’s growing population, cultural organizations, and diverse
businesses to create a 24/7 community where innovation and community merge.
Today’s Summit Innovating Community builds upon LIC’s great assets and is a direct outgrowth of
the Plan’s Key Findings and Recommendations (see the following pages). It also serves as an official
kick-off of our Phase II work.
